Wired PoE (CCTV) cameras record to a recorder (NVR) and are the most reliable choice for larger homes and businesses, because they do not depend on WiFi. WiFi cameras are faster to install and suit smaller homes, condos and doorbells. We help you choose based on your property, your internet and how many cameras you need.
More stable, and ideal for long-term use or larger properties.
Easier to install, and good for smaller spaces or rentals.
| Wired CCTV (NVR/DVR) | WiFi cameras | |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | A cable from each camera to a recorder (PoE carries power and video) | Your home WiFi |
| Recording | Hard drive in the recorder, at home | Cloud plan or SD card, depending on the brand |
| Reliability | Not affected by WiFi drops | Depends on the WiFi signal at each camera |
| Power | Through the network cable | Outlet, battery or solar panel |
| Best for | Houses with 4 or more cameras, acreages and businesses | Condos, rentals and 1 to 3 cameras |
| Installation | Cables routed through the attic, basement, soffits or walls | Faster, with less drilling |
